John Scianna, Cypherium’s director of marketing, joins the company from Qtum, where he helped grow the product of two top-20 cryptocurrencies. Scianna is one of the blockchain industry’s most experienced marketers, with prior experience at BitSE, Bitwage, and CoinPip.

“These professionals will be a true asset to Cypherium as we roll out our technology this year,” said Sky Guo, CEO and Co-Founder of Cypherium. “With John’s knowledge of blockchain and Javier’s marketing leadership, Cypherium is poised to reach new audiences with cutting-edge blockchain solutions.”

By combining consensus mechanisms, Cypherium allows participants to actively adjust the blockchain’s protocol without compromising decentralization or security. Cypherium will use its cypher token, CPH, to execute secured transactions on the blockchain, and give users access to a more complex set of smart contract functions, such as sophisticated decentralized apps and implementing deferred payments.
